Miss Ada.

Worth it, says Antonina. The grilled octopus and the spreads with warm bread are the reason I keep coming back, and there is a leafy back patio that in September and early October is about the best place to eat in this part of Brooklyn.

Where Miss Ada appears on New York Dearest

It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Worth it
  • Address184 DeKalb Avenue
  • From my guide, updated October 2026.

Miss Ada at 184 DeKalb is chef Tomer Blechman’s Mediterranean spot, and it is the one that earns the fuss. The grilled octopus and the spreads with warm bread are the reason I keep coming back, and there is a leafy back patio that in September and early October is about the best place to eat in this part of Brooklyn. One honest note. They are closed Mondays and the kitchen tends to close by around 9:45 or 10, so this is a pre-game restaurant, not an after-the-buzzer one. Plan accordingly.
